I wasn't into playing board games as a kid but I sure don't remember any aliens having anything to do with it.The game was based on warring naval ships from different countries,as I understood it.The movie has nothing to do with the game by the looks of things and if anything,they should have given it a different title......Darius,that clip you offered looks too much like a soap opera,I couldn't sit throught that.The theater ushers would drag me out of my seat or snoring too loudly.
